President Joe Biden and Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin — the two officials with National Command Authority, or the authority to give military orders — were both out of office on New Year’s Day, raising questions as to who exactly would be in charge in the case of a military emergency.
Biden began his vacation to the U.S. Virgin Islands on Wednesday, December 27, 2023, and headed back to Washington on Tuesday, January 2, 2024. He was scheduled to leave St. Croix around 5:45 p.m. Eastern.
By then, his defense secretary had — unbeknownst to him — already been hospitalized since the night before.

It doesn’t matter. It’s not like Biden was running things anyway.
Biden’s brain is on permanent vacation.
Doesn’t matter cause they are not actually the ones in control.
And didn't Austin say he was retiring? Neither of them is actually running anything, which is why Austin didn't feel the need to say anything, he does nothing of substance.
With all of the other miracles the Demented One is pulling off, I’ll bet he drove the bambulance with Austin in it to the hospital. Jo Jo be da Official miracle worker of the U.S. Gov’t.
Practice coordination and timing for election year attack. Successful. By the time any one noticed, the FBI, CIA and their allies Iran, China, will have acted and be in control.
Have a happy new year.
Just as an aside, now that Biden’s defined his campaign goals at Valley
Forge (cue laugh machine).......has anyone seen his latest “approval” ratings?
Should be good for a laugh or two.
Good Golly, will parents take control of the joystick?
-The US ceded control of the Med & Red Sea this past week.
Harris would have thrown a word salad at the enemy. lol
Sure, if anything happened Kammie would have, like, handled it.
Can you whisper in horror - "Kamalamadingdong"?
That is a great question to ask.
How does an employee schedule personal time off for an elective medical procedure if the boss takes 153 days of vacation each year?
BTW. The SOD was UA and should have his military record reflect that failure to report for duty.
But it's okay, I'm sure the people running this country knew about Austin, either Obama or China or BOTH.
FU President Poopy-Pants and your lawless regime.
The military aide with the "football" is always supposed to be with the president regardless of where he is. (Kennedy and obummer both snuck out of the White House, on occasion, leading us to believe this isn't always the case).
Imagine if you didn’t show up for work and didn’t tell your boss. We all know what would happen but laws are for the little people.
Doesn’t really matter. Biden’s got the country running so smoothly it can be left on auto-pilot for a while. /s
True dat. I just think about my Army Capitan son-in-law failed to report for duty because he had an elective medical procedure.
“Biden on Vacation Same Time Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin Was Hospitalized”
Biden’s brain on Vacation 99% of the time
There, fixed it
They should rename COG (Continuity of Government) to TAG (The Actual Government).
